He's Dead, I'm Crippled and your lost I wonder who won

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2011)

The irony of war is woven throughout the artistic presentation of the most important effort by the American and English allies. The director mercifully spared us from the horror of war yet successfully portrayed the sacrifice and suffering of both sides. Humor is an important part of this movie, not overwhelming but surely relieves the dark negative nature of the subject matter. This was a casting call for almost every successful male actor in America, England, France and Germany. In fact an interesting back-story could be developed about the missing names and the circumstances surrounding their absence. I first watched this movie on the big screen in Huntsville Alabama, in the first release. It was an awesome experience back then. I sat as close to the screen as comfortable. The movie seemed to end too quickly, but the ending was perfect.. He's Dead, I'm Crippled and your lost I wonder who won. An important after thought about this film was that ALL of the actors were alive and some even were involve in the "D" day landings, many had lost friends and family in the war. This gave all of them a special respect and honor in doing this film. Something that has been lost with the passing of time.
